I am still so proud… June 10, 2011 Last night my husband (Tim) and daughter (VIP) went to her Spring program which was the grand finale to her last day in pre-school.

Pathfinder ACG is back on after the winter holiday break.

(3 players) Lineage was an extremely beautiful though complicated game. In the end it was fun, but it would take several play-throughs to grasp the rules enough to enjoy playing it. In a nut shell: when the seasons change, your student/master markers can’t move through the current season. Your student is trying to become a master before other students, collect chi (to defeat the emperor and general) and undo damage done by the general/emperor at the same time. There is a high level of strategy involved in playing each part and many ways to achieve goals.

What was played: World of Darkness Who played it:Rays Why: We like the mechanic.
+1 rolls: Something strange is afoot at the school for the gifted youth…we still don’t know what is going on.

What was played: Get Bit
Who played it: We played with the couple through Tim’s work
Why: Another quick game to fill the time
+1 to chompy robot bits: After playing with GeekDad Jonathan a week-or-so ago, I found I have been playing it wrong, so we read the rules again and made changes accordingly.
